Sony PS-X9

This quoka.de site often has very attractive offers and you know what they say when something is too good to be true..... I've been burnt there once, so buyer beware.

I agree $14.0000 is a ridiculous price, but at the other extreme so is €2300, unless it has serious 'issues'. The market value of the PS-X9 should probably be somewhere between $5000-8000, depending on condition. This puts it in the same bracket as Technics SL-1000 mk3 and Pioneer Exclusive P3, the major competing statement DD turntables in those days.

There's one other Japanese tour de force DD table that would probably exceed this price level: the much rarer Denon DP-100M. Incidentally,  there is one up for auction on Yahoo Japan. Current highest bid is only $3460 with 2 days left. I'm tempted, so very tempted......

Grab it, jose’!

I will look into it.   I have to register and hopefully, they can ship.

On another note. I've been a lurker here and the other common audio sites for years,  time has passed, financially I'm doing MUCH better.  I appreciate everyone's input / advice.   I like collecting,  and don't mind overpaying (rare / collectable) some....however, $5-$8K is much more than than I care to.

although probably not had the refurb that the one on ebay says it has but still.....

with the $ 10,000 surplus, do you know how many renovations of PS-X9 can be achieved? Many!

I recall perhaps 4 years back a fellow Canadian was transporting 
a Sony PS-X9 across the US Canadian border and was nabbed 
for not declaring the correct value, he paid the levied fine
but then had an issue he was not able to rectify.

Never heard back after that.
